Log: Tanagra/Athens Flying Week 17Sep17

[canberra]

More questions than answers I am afraid, any help with unknowns or links to forums/sites with pics from the show most appreciated!

An unexpected chance for a short visit to Tanagra this Sunday during Athens Flying Week.
No prior research done so was all a bit chaotic and with very limited time.

Anyway noted/photographed as per very crude log below.

Are you sure for the serial 6336? In the LOG 6325 is mentioned with code 1 and that one should have c/n L8E3200065

Have anyone the serials from the 5 P-3 Orion in open storage, can only identify 153441

[GUINNESS_EHEH]

Have anyone the serials from the 5 P-3 Orion in open storage, can only identify 153441

Do you mean the HAI ramp ? If so we read of the following a/c of 05-May-17:

1* C-130B (723 or 948)
1* F-4E (68-0480)
1* Mi-26T (EW-330TF)
4* P-3B (153415, 153424, 153427, +1)

Theory:
- According to the Scramble database the following 5* P-3B's are marked for modification: 153415, 153424, 153427, 152744, 153441 (the 3* we saw in May, the one you saw recentelijk +1);
- In May 2017 we saw only 2* P-3's left at Elefsis: 152183 (P-3A) + 1* P-3B (most likely the 152747)

[frank kramer]

This month's Air Forces Monthly (dec 2017 issue) states that P-3B's 152744 and 153441 were both delivered by air (in flying condition!) from Elefsis to Tanagra for refurbishment in July of 2016. That should make up for 5 P-3B's at Tanagra; in november, (just) 4 were seen outside with only 153441 and 153424 identified. One RUMOUR we heard in Greece was that the engines from the C-130's stored engineless at Tanagra are to be used for the Orion refurbishment programme...
